I think these artists are too different in every way to say who's "better". To me personally Oldfield is much more important though.
Oldfield has a vast output including several masterpieces especially from the 70's, but he has released really bad or useless albums too.
Wilson is amazingly talented musician and almost anything he's done is at least fairly good.

Hmm....I've always thought that Oldfield's music was a bit boring at times...though I do like a few of his early lp's.
Wilson's work with PT is far better imo (though it's completely different in style..) but I do think some of his solo things are a bit of a let down though Raven is a solid lp  imho.
One does nothing yet nothing is left undone.

This. Oldfield is like listening to a Windham Hill sampler.

to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...
